Stroll by the river, then return to relax in your private paddock when you stay in this charming shepherd’s hut in Cumbria. Sleeping two guests, and welcoming four-legged friends, the appealing, one-bedroom hideaway is set in beautiful surroundings near Lanercost, 3.5 miles from Brampton. Head out on foot or by bicycle to explore your undulating surroundings and take the time to see the remains of Hadrian’s Wall, less than 1 mile away.
Wander across the paddock, appreciating the tranquillity of the setting, before taking a few wooden steps up to your private deck. Head inside to find a friendly welcome in the cosy space, an open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner/bedroom. The compact kitchenette has been designed to allow you to prepare light bites on those occasions you choose not to dine out. The double bed occupies one end of the open-plan area and your en-suite shower room is positioned behind it. Recline on the double bed to read, catch up on your favourite TV and enjoy a rejuvenating sleep before the next adventure. There is a wood burner-style electric fire for those chilly evenings. Spill out onto the deck and into the paddock on fine days. Sip your first cup of tea of the day as you take in the views. Watch your delighted dog race about before taking him down to look at the river. Guests have on-site parking for one car with this glamping retreat.
Head 7 miles to find yourselves in the dramatic surroundings of the picturesque Northumberland National Park. You will also find fabulous footpaths and trails within the North Pennines National Landscape, which begins just 5 miles away. Make a picnic to spread out at Talkin Tarn Country Park, 4.5 miles away, where you can walk beside the glacial lake and try your hand at various water sports.
